Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 316 Ruthless and Cruel Emperor × Runaway Palace Maid 12

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue came to the emperor, who immediately embraced her.

He tenderly showered her with kisses, one after another.

Chu Yue did not dodge, but let the emperor kiss her with her body limp.

His breathing became increasingly rapid, and the emperor's grip on Chu Yue tightened.

"Your Majesty... the child..." Chu Yue murmured softly, her voice slightly breathless.

The emperor paused, his eyes burning as he looked at Chu Yue, his voice already hoarse as he spoke: "It's been three months."

Chu Yue's flushed cheeks were steaming. The imperial physician had subtly mentioned that after three months, she could...

"Your Majesty... my son is still young..." Chu Yue hid in the emperor's arms, shy and timid, not daring to open her eyes.

Consort Zhen became even more alluring after becoming pregnant, and the Emperor, who had been struggling to restrain himself, was now ready to pounce.

"My beloved concubine, may I be gentle?"

Chu Yue trembled; even with her eyes closed, her eyelashes could be seen trembling incessantly.

The emperor carefully avoided Chu Yue's lower abdomen, keeping his promise and being as gentle as he could.

After a night of fooling around, Chu Yue couldn't get up for half the next day. The emperor knew he was in the wrong, so after finishing his work, he humbled himself and coaxed her.

Chu Yue was both ashamed and angry. Her body was covered in marks left by the emperor.

"My beloved concubine, I will help you change your clothes. It's time for your meal." After saying this, the emperor received another light punch from Chu Yue.

Holding the small hand on his chest, the emperor chuckled softly.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yue was almost driven mad by his shameless behavior.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. My beloved consort, please don't be angry, and don't hurt our son."

"Your Majesty also knows that there is a prince..." Chu Yue looked at the emperor with a wronged expression.

emperor:"……"

"Be good, don't make a fuss, I won't do it again next time." The emperor assured her repeatedly, and Chu Yue's expression softened as she leaned against him.

Consort Zhen was so easy to coax that the Emperor truly didn't know how to pamper her: "My beloved consort, let me carry you to your meal."

"it is good……"

Qingya Terrace

When Chu Yue arrived, the baby was already singing softly inside. She stroked her slightly protruding belly and sighed gently.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Yulan asked considerately.

"I really don't want to come." The Imperial Concubine has invited her several times, and Chu Yue's health has improved, so she can't refuse anymore.

"Your Majesty..." Yulan and Yumei were also a little worried, as Her Majesty was still pregnant with the emperor's child.

"Let's go."

"Your Majesty, please slow down..."

The Empress and the Imperial Concubine have arrived and are singing enthusiastically on stage.

"Consort Zhen, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down." The Empress saw Chu Yue enter and was about to curtsy, so she quickly stopped her, saying, "You're quite unwell, so please skip the formalities."

The Empress looked at Chu Yue, her gaze falling on her abdomen. She frowned almost imperceptibly. What's wrong with Consort Zhen?

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Chu Yue sat carefully behind the desk, one hand protecting her belly.

"It's been more than three months since Consort Zhen's last pregnancy, hasn't it?" the Imperial Concubine asked with a smile.

Beneath a somewhat forced smile lay her panic. What exactly did the Emperor and Consort Zhen intend to do?

How much longer will Consort Zhen continue to pretend?

Consort Gui could no longer tolerate it and once again invited the Empress and Consort Zhen to watch the play. Her mother, the General's wife, also said that the Empress was targeting her. Consort Gui could no longer sit still.

She couldn't let either the Empress or Consort Zhen succeed.

"Your Highness, it has been more than three months." Chu Yue nodded slightly.

"Then we must be careful, His Majesty is taking this pregnancy very seriously."

His Majesty practically lives in Yaohua Palace. Even though Consort Zhen is pregnant and cannot serve His Majesty, she still insists on occupying his bedchamber.

The Empress and Consort were very frustrated. They thought they would have the opportunity to serve His Majesty, but His Majesty still spent every day with Consort Zhen. How much more favor should he give Consort Zhen?

"Your Majesty is right. His Majesty also tells me every day to take good care of myself so that I can give birth to the prince safely."

Chu Yue replied with a smile, her face full of doting affection when she talked about the child.

The imperial concubine choked, her face turning pale, and she shut her mouth.

"Alright, everyone, let's watch the show. Consort Zhen doesn't come out all day, so she'll probably enjoy this."

The Empress was delighted to see the two of them arguing, even though there was no apparent conflict, their words were full of hostility.

That's perfect. The Imperial Concubine and Consort Zhen don't get along, saving her the trouble of trying.

"I don't know what Consort Zhen likes. I'm afraid these fighting and killing scenes I've been watching will frighten her." The Imperial Concubine took the script for the selected play: "Let's change it. Let's change it to 'The Legend of the Eastern Palace'."

After the Imperial Concubine finished speaking, the Empress's expression changed. This play was not about anything else, but about a palace maid who eventually became the Crown Princess.

Consort Zhen was also originally a palace maid, but now she has become Consort Zhen and is pregnant with the "dragon's child".

Chu Yue's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile: "Your Highness, please feel free to look at whatever you wish. I am perfectly fine with it."

The imperial concubine twitched the corner of her mouth: "Someone, go and prepare."

The song soon resumed on stage, and the story of the lowly palace maid who won the prince's favor, despite suffering many grievances, ultimately emerged as the winner.

“Sister Zhenfei, if I remember correctly, you were also a palace maid. Look at this girl on the stage, she is so pitiful, she has been beaten like this.”

On stage, the scene depicts the Empress discovering that a palace maid dared to seduce the Crown Prince. She is severely beating the maid, who is crying pitifully, but no one answers her cries for help.

Chu Yue watched the scene on the stage with a calm expression. She had been beaten before, when she was trying to get medicine for the Crown Prince, but fortunately the Crown Prince avenged her later.

"How can you get what you want without suffering?" Chu Yue looked back at the Imperial Concubine, the emotion in her eyes leaving the Imperial Concubine speechless.

The Empress wanted to stop the Consort from choosing this play, as it was so obviously provoking Consort Zhen. If His Majesty found out, he would definitely vent his anger on Consort Zhen's behalf.

But the Empress held back; a confrontation between Consort Gui and Consort Zhen would only benefit her.

"Your Highness, please say less. Consort Zhen is pregnant with the Emperor's child and cannot withstand any stimulation." The Empress spoke dignifiedly: "Consort Zhen, please don't mind her. Your Highness has no ill intentions."

When the Imperial Concubine heard the words "imperial fetus," she scoffed inwardly, but kept quiet. She was getting anxious and couldn't afford to panic any longer.

"Your Majesty is too kind, I am fine." Chu Yue looked at the stage: "The performance was excellent, very entertaining."

The story has progressed to the point where a palace maid is made the Crown Princess, standing beside the Crown Prince, becoming a noble mistress, holding hands with the Crown Prince and gazing at him affectionately.

Upon seeing this, both the Empress and the Imperial Concubine changed their expressions, while Chu Yue's smile deepened. Who was provoking whom?

"Guards, change them all." The Imperial Concubine's face was pale. She had intended to provoke Consort Zhen, but ended up being the one who was provoked.

Will Consort Zhen also become a winner in this way?

"Your Highness, you have lost your composure." The Empress's face was stern. Why was Your Highness so easily out of control of your emotions today?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I was just frightened by the stage." The Imperial Concubine calmed herself down.

"Your Highness, you are not a coward. Please don't do this again."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Alright, let Consort Zhen choose." The Empress looked at Chu Yue: "Consort Zhen, choose what you like to watch."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Chu Yue casually pointed to one, and soon the singing resumed on stage.

The imperial concubine looked unwell and didn't even glance at the stage.
